I echo David's suggestion but would like to add another. It looks like soft error handling is being used which may not be the best approach when exploring Swift. In the config file you should set the retry count to 0 and set lazy.errors=false. This will cause Swift to fail as soon as the first error is encountered and will provide an error message. This is useful for when you are exploring Swift behavior.

You can verify this by looking at the directory called modis-2012<timestamp>.d. In there is a list of files that end with -info. Look at the "Wrapper" section of these files and you should find more information about what is causing the failures.
